This meshes with the news that Boeing is run by accountants, not engineers, like it used to be.

Reeks of desperation to bring back the porn after how literally every other mainstream platform has walked away from it.

To add to this, self-hosting is also best when you minimize everything - limited service, with limited functionality, on dedicated hardware that doesn't share access to your internal network or storage. Folks who use point-and-click apps to install a half dozen unauthenticated docker containers, all open to the internet, running on the same PC they store the only copy of their family photos and music/movie collection on... make me crazy.

If a website you're using uses SMS for 2FA, then you seriously need to switch companies.

The country currently conducting a genocide, having been created after their religious siblings were genocided... And you're asking how they get away with... software...

Talk about asking the wrong questions.

Judge asks the hypernuclear question: "Have you tried NOT catering to Nazi's and racists?"

  1. Electoral reform, at all levels. Start with municipal governments by offering tax dollars to help with the transition and to educate citizens. Once a municipality has successfully held their first election under the new system, they get some more money to continue their education plans, then move up to provincial, federal, etc.

  2. Boost healthcare. The state of all healthcare systems is shameful. Bonus transfer payments for strengthening the healthcare system with higher wages and benefits, lower wait times, more equal access to care, and fewer people without family doctors.

  3. Get serious on the environment. Nothing else matters once you can't drink the water and breathe the air. Stop subsidizing carbon, collect carbon taxes, and direct the collected money back to individuals. Big rebates for energy efficiency projects, electric cars & charging.

  4. Kickstart housing. It's not rocket surgery that cities and suburbs need higher density housing, with accessible public transit nearby.

That's just off the top of my head...

Just download Signal. Cross platform, verifably E2E, and verifiably no data collected by Open Whisper (as per their submission in a lawsuit). Also, one of the authors/architects of Signal occasionally trolls the companies that provide mobile spyware.

I got one of these a few weeks ago and reported it to everyone involved. (Netblock owners where the spam originated, domain registrars, alerted YouPorn...) It's written to sound halfway legitimate, and I'm sure for anyone who's ever let themselves be videotaped while banging, this might cause enough anxiety to be spurred into action.

As always, tell your friends and family about this sort of nonsense, and to just ignore it.

As a little more background, the letter 'X' can be pronounced as "sh" in a lot of languages, turning tweets into 'zits' or 'shits'. I like 'Xitter' as a pejorative, pronounced 'Shitter'.

 

I guess we just can't have nice things.

The dumb part was relying on ads. There are privacy-focused crypto tokens out there.
